Study this image. The small versions of terminal and konqueror were started before I "Autofit guest" in VMWare. But once I Autofit my VMWare so it stretches out on my entire monitor - newly opened programs are way
too large. Anyone have any ideas of what is causing this or what could fix the problem? ;)

I have been using a bt4 on vmware server and I have not experienced this problem. Are you sure it is not with workstation? Seems as if it were a bt problem then it would affect other vm products ?

Hey Amael - well no I'm not sure at all. You could certainly be right.
Am I the only person experiencing this? It is definitely very annoying and I
would love a solution :b.

Well I guess we start with the easy first?
Did you do the fixvmware bit before running startx ?

Yep unfortunately to no avail. Also tried upgrading to the latest VMWare tools + 45 minutes of googlefu. Still no luck.

Try running vmware-toolbox at startup.
Failing that you may need to post up your xorg.conf from vmware

Nothing in vmware-toolbox I can find that would help out. Also tried Xorg -configure, also tried VMWare Player instead of workstation.
Here is my xorg.conf - see anything interesting?xorg.conf
This is starting to really annoy me if only I at least knew if the problem was within in KDE, xorg.conf or vmware-tools I would probably much more easily find the solution.

Follow this thread all the way through, there seems to be a solution, it is based on FC5 and vmware sever 1.something, but near the end there is a solution. Maybe it can help you out.
Let me know if it helps.
